:03:33. > :03:37.Terry Connell was a victim of one of the most serious miscarriages of
:03:38. > :03:46.justice in British history -- Gerry Conlon. He and three others had been
:03:47. > :03:51.jailed for life for carrying out the Guildford pub bombings in 1974,
:03:52. > :03:57.which left five dead and dozens injured. The prisoners became known
:03:58. > :04:03.as the Guildford four, and always insisted they had been framed. They
:04:04. > :04:09.were released in 1989. 16 years later, they received a formal
:04:10. > :04:16.apology from the then Prime Minister, Tony lair. I am very sorry
:04:17. > :04:23.that they were subject to such an ordeal and such an injustice. In the
:04:24. > :04:29.1990s, the story was made into an Oscar-nominated film, in the name of
:04:30. > :04:36.the Father. Mr Conlon used his high profile to campaign on behalf of
:04:37. > :04:41.other Vic Timms of injustice. A politician and friend paid tribute
:04:42. > :04:47.to his work. He did not cry about his own situation. You basically set
:04:48. > :04:53.out to make sure that others didn't suffer the same horrible fate that
:04:54. > :04:59.he suffered. But his own years in prison wanted Mr Conlon. You don't
:05:00. > :05:07.come out of this and after that length of time and just blend in
:05:08. > :05:15.with society. It does take a lot of getting used to. And I have not got
:05:16. > :05:20.used to it. I still wake up sweating. After his death in Belfast
:05:21. > :05:25.this morning, Gerry Conlon's relatives issued a statement saying
:05:26. > :05:31.he brought life, love, intelligence, wit and strength to our family
:05:32. > :05:37.through its darkest hours. They went on, we recognise that what he
:05:38. > :05:42.achieved by fighting for justice for us had a far, far greater
:05:43. > :05:47.importance. It forced the world's closed eyes to be opened to
:05:48. > :05:49.injustice. Mr Conlon's family said they believed he had changed the

:06:08. > :06:14.of using CCTV ?spy cars? to issue parking tickets remotely is to be
:06:15. > :06:18.banned on most roads in England. Councils,
:06:19. > :06:20.who've been accused of using CCTV as an unjustifiable cash cow,
:06:21. > :06:23.will have to ensure parking wardens fix tickets directly to windscreens,
:06:24. > :06:40.and motorists will no longer be They call them spy cars, used to
:06:41. > :06:46.enforce parking restrictions. Now the government wants councils to
:06:47. > :06:51.stop using them and to cut back on fixed cameras as well, unless there
:06:52. > :06:56.is a strong safety case. We are announcing the outlawing of the use
:06:57. > :07:00.of mobile cameras for parking enforcement, going round the
:07:01. > :07:04.streets. In the borough of Richmond-upon-Thames, the local
:07:05. > :07:10.authority stopped using camera cars two and half years ago. So what you
:07:11. > :07:16.motorists here think of other councils being told they have to
:07:17. > :07:23.follow suit? It is good news. I hope it does not mean higher council tax.
:07:24. > :07:28.I don't see any harm in it. If people are parking illegally, they
:07:29. > :07:33.should be caught for it. There is enough trouble parking without them
:07:34. > :07:38.having a go at you. The government says it is trying to stop
:07:39. > :07:44.overzealous enforcement, and argues that that drives shoppers away from
:07:45. > :07:50.the high street. Although the new rules mean much tighter restrictions
:07:51. > :07:56.on the use of cameras, they do not amount to a ban. See the TV can
:07:57. > :08:03.still be used for parking enforcement in bus lanes, red routes
:08:04. > :08:09.or near schools -- CCTV. But the Local Government Association argues
:08:10. > :08:16.that cameras are used by a small number of councils for parking
:08:17. > :08:22.fines, and rejects claims that they are simply there to generate cash.
:08:23. > :08:29.Every council wants to make it easier for people to park. We don't
:08:30. > :08:35.want to make it easier for people to park illegally or inconveniently for
:08:36. > :08:42.other road users. And even without cameras, finds will still be issued

:08:54. > :08:58.fly off for that matter against Costa Rica, which frankly matters
:08:59. > :09:04.little, save for restoring some national pride. Today was the first
:09:05. > :09:10.chance we got to hear from players after their World Cup demise was
:09:11. > :09:15.official. As you would expect, emotions were very raw.
:09:16. > :09:22.The circus is still in town, but England are far from the star of the
:09:23. > :09:28.show. Gone are the joviality is, the smiles dropped when all hope was
:09:29. > :09:34.extinguished. The players today issued a plea for fans' forgiveness.
:09:35. > :09:38.We have dedicated our lives to this tournament. Unfortunately, we have
:09:39. > :09:44.not succeeded. So we appreciate everything. Hopefully in the near
:09:45. > :09:48.future, we will give them something to smile about. It was England's
:09:49. > :09:54.traditional strong suit of defending where the real issues lay. Felt by
:09:55. > :10:00.striker Luis Suarez, the panic look of anguish was an all too familiar
:10:01. > :10:04.one as England crashed out before a final game could even be played. Roy
:10:05. > :10:05.Hodgson now has the dubious honour of having presided over England's
:10:06. > :10:06.worst World Cup in over 50 years. Yet he retains the full backing of
:10:07. > :10:06.his FA bosses. Many have lived for some time that England's robins
:10:07. > :10:07.extend beyond one man. He has a great enthusiasm in the team. A
:10:08. > :10:07.great set of young players, exciting players. Make no doubt about it, Roy
:10:08. > :10:08.is the man to take us forward. All the meticulous planning amounted to
:10:09. > :10:16.nothing, but the show goes on. Qualifying for the 2016 euros begins
:10:17. > :10:19.in September. Tomorrow, we expect to hear from Steven Gerrard, who will
:10:20. > :10:24.certainly be asked if this game will be his last as England captain. If
:10:25. > :10:28.they lose, this will be remembered as England's worst ever World Cup,
:10:29. > :10:30.and some of those players will fly straight home knowing they will
:10:31. > :10:34.never get another chance to make amends.
:10:35. > :10:35.There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel.
:10:36. > :10:37.I'm back with the late news at 10.10.
